Here's a summer treat that you can prepare in just minutes. Skip the onion if it offends your tummy (or if you'll be doing some after-dinner kissing) — the salad's just as yummy without it.
4 cups (packed) baby spinach
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (about ½ pint)
½ cup sliced red onion (optional)
¼ cup toasted sliced almonds
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons white grape juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate, Splenda, honey or brown sugar, to taste.
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper
- Place the spinach, strawberries, onion, if using and almonds in a salad bowl.
- Place the vinegar, oil, grape juice concentrate and paprika in a small bowl and whisk to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the salad with enough dressing to coat evenly. Divide the salad between 2 smaller salad bowls and serve.
